The first 100 potholes
It’s customary for new employees to be judged on their first 100 days. I’ve decided on a different target for my new role as county councillor - it’s the first 100 potholes.
This particularly fine example is by the island to cross Villa Real Road, quite close to the Number One roundabout. This is an extremely busy road, and with the roadway narrowing at this point it’s a real hazard to cyclists. I have emailed it (along with eight others in Gladstone Street, Romany Drive and Spencer Street) to the Highways Action Line. Obviously they won’t get the email till Tuesday, so we’ll start the countdown then.
If you want to email me your favourite (!) pothole please give me the precisest possible details and, if possible, a digital photo. There’s only one rule - for the moment I will exclude “back-streets”. It’s not that they don’t matter - clearly they do - but until we’ve got front streets up to first world standards I am going to give them priority.
have your say
